CCN MOURNS: DR. RON KENOLY TRANSITIONS TO GLORY

February 3, 2026

The Christian Council of Nigeria (CCN) joins the global Christian community in mourning the peaceful transition of Dr. Ron Kenoly, a renowned gospel music minister, worship leader, and servant of God, who went to be with the Lord in the early hours of February 3, 2026.

Dr. Ron Kenoly was more than a gifted musician; he was a vessel of worship whose life and ministry consistently pointed humanity to the glory of God. His songs crossed denominational, cultural, and national boundaries, becoming a unifying voice in global Christian worship. Through his music, countless believers were ushered into deeper encounters with God, healing, hope, and spiritual renewal.

Beyond the melodies and anointed lyrics, Dr. Kenoly will be remembered for his humility, Christ-centered heart, and unwavering devotion to the Gospel. His ministry exemplified worship as theology in song—sound doctrine expressed through praise, adoration, and reverence for God.

As an ecumenical body committed to Christian unity, CCN recognises Dr. Kenoly’s contribution to the wider Church as one that fostered unity in worship and shared faith across traditions. His life reminds us that true worship transcends style and sound; it is ultimately about giving glory to God alone.

The Christian Council of Nigeria extends heartfelt condolences to his beloved family, ministry partners, and the global body of Christ. We pray that the comfort of the Holy Spirit will abide with all who mourn his passing, and that his legacy will continue to inspire generations to worship God in spirit and in truth.

As Scripture assures us:

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.”
— Psalm 116:15

Though his earthly voice is silent, his testimony lives on. We celebrate a life well spent, a race faithfully run, and a crown of righteousness now received.

Rest in peace, Dr. Ron Kenoly.
Your worship lives on.
Your legacy endures.
Your joy is now complete in Christ.
